Have you tried putting a different set of wheels?

Yep - have you ruled out slightly buckled rim, tyre flat spot, tyre deformation, tyre delamination??

Is it vibration or shimmy. We used to do work on new patrols back then and they came standard with a shimmy. Our fix was put bigger tyres than standard. By memory they were LT285/75R16 BFG A/T's

When was the last tyre balance done ???
How old are the tyres ???
Get the wheel with the issue and swap with your spare
IF the vibration is gone,its the suspect wheel/tyre 1 or the other or both
Take ya what 10 mins

Dont leave it on there,last tyre of mine with issues (tyre shop closed for chrissy)let go at 100Ks (back one)
Smashed rear 1/4 panel badly , smashed taillights, and other damage

Scares the bejesus outta ya

Check shocks, suspension bushes, sway bar link pin rubbers, all those seem to have effect on it.

have you been in mud or clay/sand
on the DX the wheels hold dirt very well ,
last year after playing in mud i thought my wheel balance was out
well it was full of dirt the tyre mob cleaned it out and no more wobbles
just a thought , have a look hopfully your`s is the same

Check the brake rotar to see if the ventilation holes are caked with dry mud.

My GQ had a savage vibration at about the same speed - felt really bad. Turned out to be a totally munted suspension bush from one of the panhard rods which couldn't be seen until it was removed.
